Looks good
Still waiting to see how it performs in the long run, but at least it looks more reliable than a low-end Shimano chain. You can also snap the connecting link (similar to S-Ram's) together with two suitable screwdrivers.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Strong and light blade, does what it needs to do, under all the conditions I put on it.
On my old 27-speed (9-speed cassette), with a mix of sram x0 and shimano xt materials, this blade works wonderfully. Been riding it since day 1 (15 years ago), and see no reason to switch to anything else. Did mount an XT set once, but they were considerably faster to cook, as was the SRAM equivalent. And not worth it for the price and minute weight difference in my eyes. Blade does what it should do, in all conditions, is strong, and easily reaches 10,000km (and probably more if I changed my chain a bit earlier).
